Excite people as a role model through Actions, Truth & Trust building

9/21/14

Jack Welch's business leadership principles illuminate my way through work and life every day.
The complete immersion at JWMI truly has truly been a great transforming experience.

Here is what I learned from Jack from a recent Q&A.

(1) Speak through Actions, not just words

"You have to be a role model with what you do, not what you say.

Bosses typically do not like to hear how to do it.
It never works as it is a moving proposition.

No one likes to hear what they should be doing.
They want to see you doing it and they get excited by it.

Your job is to demonstrate what you want with what you do, not with your mouth.
Demonstrate the behavior needed through innovation and other things to make it happen ".

(2) Health care market is exploding with opportunities.

(3) CEO's Job: Look for Truth & Build Trust in Relationships
Best thing Jack loved about being GE's CEO
- loved being around people and winning
- don't hire people whose values don't match; personalities can be different
get people you believe in,you like and want to be with
you give everything you got to them and they give everything they got to you
- Truth & Trust: Two words that go with leadership
Every day you look for truth
Every day you build Trust; that you can be trusted and people you are with can be trusted
Trust each other to Act on the Truth

It is such a treat to hear Jack speak about how to win in business.
